EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant colors of Africa come to life in this photograph captured by Michael Runkel/Robert Harding. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, as two men engage in a friendly game of Kalah (Kalaha), a traditional board game belonging to the mancala family. Set against the backdrop of Moroni, the capital city of Grand Comore Island in the Comoros archipelago, these men are immersed in their recreation amidst the beauty of Indian Ocean's African shores. The wooden board and pebbles used for playing add an authentic touch to this scene, reflecting the rich cultural heritage found on these islands. As we peer into this vertical composition, we witness more than just a game being played; we glimpse into African culture and tradition. The concentration etched on their faces reveals their determination to outwit each other strategically. This photograph serves as an invitation for us to explore travel destinations off the beaten path and discover unique experiences that connect us with different cultures around the world. It reminds us that even simple moments like playing board games can bridge gaps between people from diverse backgrounds. Through Runkel's lens, we are reminded that photography has the power not only to capture stunning visuals but also to evoke curiosity about our vast and diverse planet.
